An App Receipt is stored on the device’s local storage and can be read as follows:
var builder = ConfigurationBuilder.Instance(StandardPurchasingModule.Instance());
string receipt = builder.Configure<IAppleConfiguration>().appReceipt;
In App Purchases may be restricted in a device’s settings, which can be checked for as follows:
var builder = ConfigurationBuilder.Instance(StandardPurchasingModule.Instance());
bool canMakePayments = builder.Configure<IAppleConfiguration>().canMakePayments;
On Apple platforms users must enter their password to retrieve previous transactions so your application must provide users with a button letting them do so. During this process the ProcessPurchase method of your IStoreListener will be invoked for any items the user already owns.
/// <summary>
/// Your IStoreListener implementation of OnInitialized.
/// </summary>
public void OnInitialized(IStoreController controller, IExtensionProvider extensions)
{
extensions.GetExtension<IAppleExtensions> ().RestoreTransactions (result => {
if (result) {
// This does not mean anything was restored,
// merely that the restoration process succeeded.
} else {
// Restoration failed.
}
});
}
Apple provides a mechanism to fetch a new App Receipt from their servers, typically used when no receipt is currently cached in local storage; SKReceiptRefreshRequest.
Note that this will prompt the user for their password.
Unity IAP makes this method available as follows:
/// <summary>
/// Your IStoreListener implementation of OnInitialized.
/// </summary>
public void OnInitialized(IStoreController controller, IExtensionProvider extensions)
{
extensions.GetExtension<IAppleExtensions> ().RefreshAppReceipt (receipt => {
// This handler is invoked if the request is successful.
// Receipt will be the latest app receipt.
Console.WriteLine(receipt);
},
() => {
// This handler will be invoked if the request fails,
// such as if the network is unavailable or the user
// enters the wrong password.
});
}
iOS 8 introduced a new parental control feature called Ask to Buy.
Ask to Buy purchases defer for parent approval. When this occurs, Unity IAP sends your app a notification as follows:
/// This is called when Unity IAP has finished initialising.
public void OnInitialized(IStoreController controller, IExtensionProvider extensions)
{
extensions.GetExtension<IAppleExtensions>().RegisterPurchaseDeferredListener(product => {
Console.WriteLine(product.definition.id);
});
}
The sample class below demonstrates how to access IAppleExtensions in order to enable Ask-to-Buy simulation in the Sandbox App Store:
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.Purchasing;
public class AppleSimulateAskToBuy : MonoBehaviour {
public void SetSimulateAskToBuy(bool shouldSimulateAskToBuy) {
if (Application.platform == RuntimePlatform.IPhonePlayer) {
IAppleExtensions extensions = IAPButton.IAPButtonStoreManager.Instance.ExtensionProvider.GetExtension<IAppleExtensions>();
extensions.simulateAskToBuy = shouldSimulateAskToBuy;
}
}
}
When the purchase is approved or rejected, your store’s normal ProcessPurchase or OnPurchaseFailed listener methods are invoked.
Sometimes consumable Ask to Buy purchases don’t show up in the App Receipt, in which case you cannot validate them using that receipt. However, iOS provides a Transaction Receipt that contains all purchases, including Ask to Buy. Access the most recent Transaction Receipt string for a given Product using IAppleExtensions.
Note: Transaction Receipts are not available for Mac builds. Requesting a Transaction Receipt on a Mac build results in an empty string.

Unlike App Receipts, you cannot validate Transaction Receipts locally. Instead, you must send the receipt string to a remote server for validation. If you already use a remote server to validate App Receipts, send Transaction Receipts to the same Apple endpoint, to receive a JSON response.
Example JSON response:
{
"receipt": {
"original_purchase_date_pst": "2017-11-15 15:25:20 America/Los_Angeles",
"purchase_date_ms": "1510788320209",

Apple allows you to promote in-game purchases through your app’s product page. Unlike conventional in-app purchases, Apple promotional purchases initiate directly from the App Store on iOS and tvOS. The App Store then launches your app to complete the transaction, or prompts the user to download the app if it isn’t installed.
The IAppleConfiguration SetApplePromotionalPurchaseInterceptor callback method intercepts Apple promotional purchases. Use this callback to present parental gates, send analytics events, or perform other functions before sending the purchase to Apple. The callback uses the Product that the user attempted to purchase. You must call IAppleExtensions.ContinuePromotionalPurchases() to continue with the promotional purchase. This will initiate any queued-up payments.
If you do not set the callback, promotional purchases go through immediately and call ProcessPurchase with the result.
Note: Calling these APIs on other platforms has no effect.
private IAppleExtensions m_AppleExtensions;
public void Awake() {
var module = StandardPurchasingModule.Instance();
var builder = ConfigurationBuilder.Instance(module);
// On iOS and tvOS we can intercept promotional purchases that come directly from
// the App Store.
// On other platforms this will have no effect; OnPromotionalPurchase will never be
// called.
builder.Configure<IAppleConfiguration>().
SetApplePromotionalPurchaseInterceptorCallback(OnPromotionalPurchase);
Debug.Log("Setting Apple promotional purchase interceptor callback");
}
public void OnInitialized(IStoreController controller, IExtensionProvider extensions) {
m_AppleExtensions = extensions.GetExtension<IAppleExtensions>();
foreach (var item in controller.products.all) {
if (item.availableToPurchase) {
// Set all these products to be visible in the user's App Store
m_AppleExtensions.SetStorePromotionVisibility(item, AppleStorePromotionVisibility.Show);
}
}
}
private void OnPromotionalPurchase(Product item) {
Debug.Log("Attempted promotional purchase: " + item.definition.id);
// Promotional purchase has been detected.
// Handle this event by, e.g. presenting a parental gate.
// Here, for demonstration purposes only, we will wait five seconds before continuing
// the purchase.
StartCoroutine(ContinuePromotionalPurchases());
}
private IEnumerator ContinuePromotionalPurchases() {
Debug.Log("Continuing promotional purchases in 5 seconds");
yield return new WaitForSeconds(5);
Debug.Log("Continuing promotional purchases now");
m_AppleExtensions.ContinuePromotionalPurchases (); // iOS and tvOS only
}
To test on Apple stores you must be using an iTunes connect test account, which can be created in iTunes connect.
Sign out of the App Store on the iOS device or laptop, launch your application and you will be prompted to log in when you attempt either a purchase or to restore transactions.
If you receive an initialization failure with a reason of NoProductsAvailable, follow this checklist:
When building a desktop Mac build you must select Mac App Store validation within Unity’s build settings.
Once you have built your App, you must update its info.plist file with your bundle identifier and version strings. Right click on the .app file and click show package contents, locate the info.plist file and update the CFBundleIdentifier string to your application’s bundle identifier.
You must then sign, package and install your application. You will need to run the following commands from an OSX terminal:
codesign -f --deep -s "3rd Party Mac Developer Application: " your.app/Contents/Plugins/unitypurchasing.bundle
codesign -f --deep -s "3rd Party Mac Developer Application: " your.app
productbuild --component your.app /Applications --sign "3rd Party Mac Developer Installer: " your.pkg
To sign the bundle, you may first need to remove the Contents.meta file if it exists: your.app/Contents/Plugins/unitypurchasing.bundle/Contents.meta
In order to install the package correctly you must delete the unpackaged .app file before running the newly created package.
You must then launch your App from the Applications folder. The first time you do so, you will be prompted to enter your iTunes account details, for which you should enter your iTunes Connect test user account login. You will then be able to make test purchases against the sandbox environment.
